I first thought that "full" revert would be best in order to reduce confusion, but now I'd vote for just disabling the addition but leaving the feature there. This way the bleeding edge users who already use this feature could test the release branch version in daily use. As the feature is there some brave future 0.12 users can start experimenting with it earlyer and potentially provide feedback. Finally, as the delta is smaller there is less management activities to be done. Marking the feature as 'experimental' in namual page & other documentation would be good idea.
